Unleavened flatbreads
Description
Perfect for tea and coffee. I like to prepare these plain flatbreads instead of bread, especially during fasting periods. In that case, I don't fry them, but bake until they develop a golden crust. The flatbreads are very tasty and make an excellent substitute for regular baked goods like bread. They can even be given to children, and some people place a piece of butter on the hot flatbread before serving. Serve cooled down or slightly warm.

Step 1
1. Unleavened flatbreads are called so because they are made with water. The recipe for these flatbreads is extremely simple: make a mound of flour and create a well in the center, into which you pour water. Add baking powder and salt to taste (a pinch will be enough).

3. It should be firm and not stick to your hands, so use as much flour as the dough requires. Then divide it into portions, shaping each into a round flat disc.

4. Heat a pan with vegetable oil and fry the flatbreads on both sides. The dough thickness should not exceed one centimeter (otherwise they won't cook through inside). If you prefer thicker flatbreads, bake them in the oven.
